Thursday Movie Picks

As the name suggests, Thursday Movie Picks is held
every Thursday. The rules are simple; base on the theme of the week pick three to five movies and tell us why you picked them.

So if you love movies come and make your pick every Thursday. It'll be fun and
you'll get to discover more movies and add them to your to-watch list. If you are participating be sure to add your blog post to the linky widget at
the end of each of my Thursday Movie Picks post. Please also visit the other participating blogs, spread the word about this series, and also link back to my blog on your own Thursday Movie Picks post :)

Ideally your post should go up on Thursday or after is ok too but before July 24 which is when the next theme starts. I'll have a Linky Widget on my Thursday post, where any blogger participating can leave a link to their post. I'll leave the Linky widget open for one week.

The last Stephen King adaptation I saw was the new Carrie and that was a few months back so I'll be working from memory too. This meme doesn't need to be review like, so a short write up/mention of what ever your picks are would still be cool.

Not sure if you're open to changing the schedule around, but I'll ask anyway. Is it possible to move Teen Vampire Movies, Zombie Movies, Ghost Stories/Haunting Movies, and Found Footage Movies all into October? Every year during that month, as cliche as it is, I go wall-to-wall horror. I understand if you don't, because my reasons for asking are entirely selfish. Let me know.

I noticed there's no theme for this week. A few suggestions (for now or later), if you're open: Movies about time travel, Movies about addiction, Foreign Language Movies - Spanish, Movies about musicians, Movies about married couples, Black and White Movies made since 1970, Movies with children as villains..I'll stop here.

I must have missed it when I rearranged the topics for October. For this coming Thursday I'll pick Movies about Time Travel.With your suggestions, John's and my own, I think we currently have topics right till probably early 2016. :)

I'm hoping to get back into this, though I can't make any promises on how frequently I'll be contributing. There are still a few of these categories that I could get started on already so that's good. The real challenge is going to be selecting three astronaut movies. I've got so many good ones to choose from.

Okay, I had some ideas for categories. I hope you don't mind if I write some of these down...So there were a few ideas I had that I thought could follow up on the World War I and II categories...

-American Civil War-Vietnam-Cold War (non-Vietnam)-Movies about the British Empire-Revolution! (your choice of which revolution)-Modern Warfare-Future Warfare

Here's some other ideas...-Voyage to the Moon-Movies about Mars-Movies featuring the Jovian planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and/or Neptune)-Interstellar Travel (non-Interstellar)-First Contact-Movies everyone hates but you love-Movies everyone loves but you hate-Gangsters-Movies that take place underwater-Olympics Movies-Friendly Aliens (i.e. E.T.)-Jailbreak!-Documentaries-Movies based on/inspired by Greek/Egyptian/Norse Mythology-Re-imaginings of Shakespeare-Movies about Mental Illness-Movies about coping with illness/injury-Courtroom Movies-Racing Movies

If it's any interest, I've been looking at doing something for my blog (http://hitchcocksworld.blogspot.ca/2016/11/twelve-wars-to-christmas.html) and I had a few ideas for topics which didn't make the final cut but I thought you may be interested in making use of...

-Movies about Navy SEALs-Movies about the United States Marine Corps-In the Navy-Movies about Snipers-Air Force Movies-Black Ops-Counter-Terrorism-The Resistance-Korean War-The Middle Ages-Movies set during the Renaissance
